Wood needs to make more contact

Its hard to complain about a 20 year old shortstop who hits 43 homers in a season, and follows it up with 13 in the Arizona fall league. I am concerned about his whiffs, though. 102 at bats, 28 strikeouts vs 7 walks. After an incredible start that included a 4 homer game, he's struggled some in a league known for offense.

He doesn't have to be Rod Carew, I just hope his strikeouts don't hurt his development.

Don't have too much to say, I just created this blog and am at a loss for words right now, but I need to get something up there and see how this all works.
